Chapter 588 Return in Disgrace
Vic disappeared with his men and the pirate ship. The navy's good marines had already reacted and dived into the sea. The enemy had already left. If Kizaru died in the end, it would be a huge joke.
When the marines found Kizaru, he had already drunk a lot of sea water. After being rescued, the ship's doctor squeezed the sea water out of his stomach before starting other treatments. His broken arm had to be fixed and hung, and his internal injuries also needed to be slowly healed with medication.
Although Kizaru is a user of nature abilities, it is impossible for him to transform into an element and then restore his body to heal his injuries and fractures. Moreover, Kizaru did not regain consciousness after being treated by the ship's doctor. Many parts of his body were wrapped in bandages, even his head. It was not known whether he was beaten too hard by Vic or he was submerged in the sea for too long.
The commander is still unconscious and there are only two warships left. This interception can be said to be a complete failure. It is impossible for them to chase Vic and his men anymore.
So the remaining vice admirals discussed it and asked the boatmen to piece together the warships that were damaged by Kizaru to see if they could find two or three more warships that could sail.
There were quite a lot of people brought by more than a dozen warships, and it would have been too difficult to load them with only two warships. Fortunately, Kizaru did not damage the same parts on each warship, and finally he managed to piece together two warships.
The last four warships that did not look very complete carried all the people to the Navy Headquarters. The other warships that were completely unable to sail could only be left where they were, and there was a possibility that they could be recovered if there was a chance.
Although Kizaru was defeated by Victor, and Victor could take his life at any time, this does not indicate the value of a future admiral of the navy.
Every admiral of the navy has outstanding vitality, combat effectiveness, and the ability to escape, but Kizaru happened to meet Vic, who was more restrained from him, and his advantage in speed could not be brought into play at all, which led to this result.
Kizaru woke up two days later. He did not change the decision of the other vice admirals. The pursuit of Vic was just a pretense, and now he was beaten like this, it can be said that he was forced to complete the task perfectly.
Now that the mission is completed, it is natural to return to the headquarters to report. Then the navy will have enough excuses and will not get involved in the pursuit of Vic in a high-profile and targeted manner.
It is impossible for the World Government to use the entire naval system that took hundreds of years to perfect to defeat Vic just for him. This would be extremely detrimental to their efforts to consolidate their rule over the sea.
Moreover, if all the navy's personnel were transferred to deal with Vic, the entire ocean would fall into greater chaos. One can imagine what the scene would be like if there was no one to suppress the pirates.
The situation that the World Government has worked so hard to create over the years will be destroyed in an instant, and the member states will no longer trust the World Government, so there will be no hope for the Celestial Gold. How can the World Government and the Celestial Dragons continue to suck their blood?
The Five Elders are all experienced and wise, it is impossible for them not to have thought of this, so facing the powerful Vic, the Navy can only let the matter go, and the World Government will have to solve it itself.
Kizaru also learned from the marines on the deck what Vic said before he left. He felt a little complicated. Although he came to act, the other people he brought and Vic and the others didn't know about it.
Both sides treated each other as enemies and would always be enemies in the future, but even in this situation Vic still let them all go!
He could see that Rebecca and the others didn't fight seriously, otherwise no one would be able to go back this time. Why did such kind-hearted people force them to become pirates? Even a centrist like Kizaru felt sorry for it, and he owed a big favor to someone.
When Kizaru returned to the Marine Headquarters with a bandaged arm and a plaster cast around his neck and a damaged warship, the marines on duty at the dock were shocked.
Although Sengoku and Sora both knew the process and results of this incident through Den Den Mushi, they did not pass it on and not many people knew about it.
So they were really surprised to see Kizaru and his men in such a miserable state. Kizaru and his men's lineup was not weak at all. A quasi-admiral led so many vice-admirals from the headquarters, but still got this result. If Kizaru said that he met Whitebeard, they would believe it.
Kizaru quickly left with his men without leaving a single word. He had been warned by Sengoku that the result this time could not be reported to the navy, and he also conveyed this order to all the navy who went this time.
The news from Morgans was also suppressed and not released. This time, only the Five Elders needed to know about it. If other people knew about it, it would have a bad impact on Kizaru, who was about to be promoted to admiral of the navy.
The admiral is the navy's highest combat power, but now he has been defeated by a young man who rebelled against the navy. If everyone knew about this, they would question the value of the position of admiral, which would have a very bad impact on the navy.
Kong and Sengoku were stunned when they saw Kizaru in such a state. Although Kizaru had given them a general report on the phone before, they were still a little dazed when they saw the actual situation.
They also clearly remembered that in the square outside the headquarters building, Vic, who had just arrived at the headquarters not long ago, fought a battle with Spider Demon for others. At that time, Vic couldn't even beat the lieutenant admiral, and only won after exhausting Spider Demon's armament domineering.
How long has it been? Even Kizaru is no match for him? This growth rate is really scary, and he will still be the enemy of their navy in the future. This makes them regretful and worried.
What he regretted, of course, was letting Vic carry out the damn mission that made him betray the navy. What he was worried about was Vic's growth rate. As long as nothing unexpected happened to Vic, he would most likely grow into a top warrior like Whitebeard in the future.
This is not good news for the navy. Whitebeard alone is already enough of a headache for them, and following closely behind are Charlotte Linlin and Kaido. Will there be another Victor in the future?
The strength of their navy was already stretched to the limit, and now they have pushed a high-end combat force to the opposite side. The future situation is bound to become more difficult. They now understand why the Five Elders want to implement the Seven Warlords of the Sea system.
For the World Government, this system is one-sided. The Navy and the World Government can tear up this agreement at any time and directly sanction those former pirates.
However, the Seven Warlords of the Sea dare not do anything openly against the will of the World Government within the contract, otherwise they will be wiped out. Therefore, using pirates to balance the pirates when the navy is insufficient is a good decision.
